- Fixed transitioning from the off to on state. Thanks to @marcel1988 for informing
me about his non-functional wake-up light script. Before this fix, the light would
stay off during the full transformation, only to turn on at the very end.
- The `on_brightness` trigger is now also called at the start of a transition.
This fixes a problem with the brightness slider illumination not following along
when you slide your finger over it.
- Suppressing a transition time for transitioning to a night light color is now
only instant when starting from a night light setting. Before this change, moving
from for example 80% brightness to 1% brightness (i.e. night light), would be
instant. Now an actual transformation is done.
* New light transformer implementation
* Fixed missing ; in the code, thanks Jos!
* Removed backward compatibility code for v1.20.x (because there were too many other changes that broke the build, and for which creating a work-around was not feasible).
* Fixed duplicate api section in the example.yaml (thanks @badbroechten\!) and updated the example to not use an underscore in the hostname.
* Prepare for release
* Implemented compatibility with color mode support in the latest Home Assistant + ESPHome.
* Made the code compile with both v1.20.* and v.1.21.0.
* Made the code compile with both v1.20.* and v.1.21.0.

* Updated documentation for 1.18.0 release with external components support.
* Moved example.yaml to the root dir, in line with the recommendations from the ESPHome external components guide.
* Normalized the version numbering for ESPHome references.
* Fixed the styling of the example.yaml references.

The reasoning behind this can be found in this issue:
https://github.com/mmakaay/esphome-yeelight_bs2/issues/7
When you are already using a previous version of the firmware,
then note that the following changes are necessary:
* Update to the latest version of the custom component code.
* Rename your folder `custom_components/yeelight_bs2` to
`custom_components/xiaomi_bslamp2`
* Update your yaml config by changing all occurrences of `yeelight_bs2`
into `xiaomi_bslamp2`
The links to the github repository will remain functional after
the renaming operation, so it's not required to grab a fresh clone.
For example: `id(${id_light_mode}).state == "night"`
This is used in the example.yaml to turn off the illumination
of the front panel, when the lamp goes into night light mode.
A HUB component was introduced. This HUB component has all the knowledge
about the Yeelight Bedside Lamp 2 hardware. It known what pins are used,
that PWM frequencies to use, what pins to switch in binary mode, etc. etc.
No configuration is required for this HUB component. It's automatically
loaded when the light component is loaded. The light component will use the
HUB component to access the pins that are required for driving the LED
circuitry.
Note that this simplifies the configuration by A LOT. There's no need
anymore to configure the pinouts in the YAML file. This is a logical route
to take, since we're talking about a factory-produced PCB with a soldered on
ESP32 chip, which uses the same GPIO's and settings on all produced devices
(I presume). It would be quite redundant to force every user into
configuring these pinouts themselves.
** Beware to update your device yaml configuration **
There are a few pinouts left to move into the HUB. I will do that in the
next commit. Your device yaml configuration can be simplified along with
these changes. Some of the keys in the existing light configuration block
will no longer work and will have to be removed (red, green, blue, white).
** Further development **
The HUB will be extended make it the central component that also handles
the I2C communication. This way, there is a central place to regulate the
traffic to and from the front panel. We will be able to build upon this
by implementing extra, fully separated components that handle for example
the front panel light level, the power button, the color button and
the slider.
** Interrupt handler for the I2C IRQ trigger pin **
One requirement for the I2C communication has already been implemented: an
interrupt handler for the GPIO that is used by the front panel to signal the
ESP that a new touch or release event is avilable to be read.
It doens't do anything functionally right now, but if you watch the log
file, you will see that touch events are detected and that they trigger some
log messages.
The work-around has been implemented in a forward-compatible manner,
so the light transition when turning off the light should still
work once the upstream code gets fixed.
* When turning off the light at a low brightness setting,
the LEDs were seen flashing brightly for a short time.
* Transitioning did not work when turning of the light. The light would be
kept at normal brightness during the transition and then it turned of
at once. This looks like an issue in the ESPHome transitioning code,
because that is the code that is responsible for the transitioning.
When turning on the light, it works correctly. I see both the state
and the brightness go up. But when turning off the light, I see that
the state decreases gradually to zero, but the brightness is kept
as-is. I wrote a fix for this behavior in my code and will investigate
if the ESPHome code can be fixed for this.
